After a month of rehearsals, phone interviews on radio stations, newspapers, promotional appearances, and the like, it's nice to be able to say, finally, in my best Charlie Brown voice: Christmastime is HERE!

No matter where you live, music makes the perfect gift at any time, but especially Christmas. Think of it this way: if you give them a fruitcake, they either use it as a door stop, or they actually eat it, and then it's gone! Music, on the other hand, lasts forever and fills a home with beauty, magic, and always reminds the listener of the thoughtful generosity of the person who gifted it. Fill your friends and family's homes this season with Underhill's Angel: A treasury of songs for the season.

Order CDs and they will ship in time for Christmas, and you can designate a different recipient too, right there on the purchase page.

All of my Celtic Christmas Celebration shows are selling very well this year. Tickets are really going fast. If there are any tickets left for any show on this schedule, get them quick before they're all gone!

This will be my 6th Annual Celtic Christmas Celebration at the beautiful 400 seat Kirkland Performance Center. Special guests include the Eastside Firefighters Pipe and Drum Band, Beth Quist, aerialists from Emerald City Trapeze, Bagpiper Don, and the amazing Geoffrey Castle Band!

I am also very pleased to announce the addition of a very special guest: ALAN WHITE. Nominated this year for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! He will be there both nights. I love it when he tells stories about recording sessions with John Lennon…

This show is nearly sold out, both nights, so get your tickets now! If they tell you that it is sold out, do not despair: every year, people who bought tickets don't show up. Those seats are released back to the box office 10 minutes before show time. Show up. Chances are 99 percent good that you'll not only get in, but get the BEST seats in the house. Hilarious, but true. Those four empty seats in the front row? That coulda been YOU!

This concert will also feature, in the lobby, a select display of artworks by Shannon Castle!

4pm Matinee!
The full Celtic Christmas show in this 1,200 seat theater…it was magic last year, and I've got a feeling it will be magic again this time around too! Aerialist Elves, Santa Claus, Beth Quist, Bagpiper Don, the Castle All-Star Band and the fearless crew!

This concert will also feature a select display of Artworks by Shannon Castle!

This is always a wonderful celebration of community spirit, and the hall is always packed: last year over 1500 were in attendance! Purchase V.I.P tickets for best seats! Can't afford a VIP ticket? Don't worry: this concert is free to the public thanks to the generosity of our sponsors! Oh, you CAN afford a VIP ticket? That's GREAT! Buy six. <LOL> You'll be helping to support local Anacortes charities, and Toys For Tots, USMC. And you'll be helping keep this a "free" concert for those who are less fortunate.
